We just used this lawyer Joseph "Jody" Rodriguez and he was the worst professional lawyer we have ever encountered. If you are looking for a lawyer to work for you and help you, do not bother here. We had a personal injury case, and he kicked his feet for a year before he even talked about a demand letter. My husband had to ask for help on when he could get medical attention. When you hire an attorney, you are supposed to have things set up immediately and they would not answer the phone, call back, for days and sometimes weeks; forget email, they never respond. My husband had back surgery, out of work, out of a truck, and in pain. We wanted policy limits for all the loss, pain, and suffering. He did not fight for us and basically said the offer we are getting is a steal and we should take it and run. Once we settled, they got their money and sat on it for over 2 weeks while we waited for them to settle the medical bills. We wanted to see the demand letter before being sent out, he sent it anyways without our approval. We wanted proof of the negotiation from the insurance company, we were told it was verbal. Then we wanted proof of the medical bills that were paid and to approve those before being paid, and they never did until after they settled them. There is no communication with all the staff as we were told the amount we were getting would go up since the medical bills were getting lowered. Then we were told no the amount we were told was the amount, so where's the extra money??? Not in OUR pocket. Website says 24/7 availability and yet they are always "on a call". Away from the desk/office, or not in the office that day. They only responded to us towards the end because we would call ALL day every day for answers. They just want to take your money, and make even more money off of you and you are stuck with waiting while you are out of work and your family is suffering. They do not care about you nor do they care to help. Ambulance chaser at its finest right here. -5 stars from us. We paid him over $170,000 of our settlement for him to work for himself and not his client. read more
